The nation added 543 gigawatts of new capacity across all technologies last year, according to data from the National Energy Administration on Wednesday. That’s 12% more than all the power plants combined in India as of the end of 2024. The generation China has added since the end of 2021 is also larger than the entire US system.
Since 2023, capacity additions have averaged more than 400 gigawatts a year, compared to about 150 gigawatts annually over the previous six years.
